Great App but does not sync with browser extension. It's like having two separate apps waaaay to much work to use both.It should just sync to my account. Also there should be a way to share my list with another person especially if someone else does my cooking and shopping then they should have a shared access. Also on the app there is the option to select a third choice which is "limited" on the extension there is only two options "yes" or "no".

This is a brilliant and much-needed tool! Highly recommend!

This is a really well-developed application; this extension integrates with most major grocers so you can see the icon (red, green, or yellow, with trigger ingredients highlighted) directly on the grocer’s website (we do a lot of online pickup orders) and it’s amazing! It’s definitely helped me learn more about some things that I thought were safe but are in fact triggers... I just learned from the team that this work on recipe sites as well! I don't see this link called out on the extension page, so here's that list of grocers and recipe sites fro the FIG website: https://foodisgood.com/support/which-websites-work-with-the-fig-browser-extension
